Before the party, create two sets of dinosaur "feet." For each foot, simply tape closed the open end of an empty cereal box (or cracker box for small feet), then cut a 4 1/2-inch-wide circular foot opening in the front panel. Next, cut out a dinosaur footprint from craft foam (it should be bigger than the box) and make two 5-inch crisscrossed snips in the center of the print. With a low-temperature hot glue gun, attach the print to the box surface so that the cuts in the foam are directly over the circular opening in the cardboard. For a finishing touch, hot-glue foam "claws" onto the dinosaur toes.
-
Divide the kids into two teams and set a chair across from each group at the far end of the racing area. Have the first person from both teams put on dinosaur feet, then hand each of them a wooden spoon with a plastic egg (a rubber ball will do in a pinch) balanced on it.
-
On cue, players must quickly stomp around their respective team chairs and back to hand off the spoon and then the shoes to the next runners.
-
If a child drops the egg en route, she must retrieve it before going on. The first team whose players have all successfully completed the course win the relay.
